One single thing that makes you think "knob" - anyone on the phone while driving (I appreciate that makes me sound like a government safety video), but you can sooo tell they're concentrating on something else.

If I was Prime Minister I would bring in a law that would mean you could send in photos of people on their phones behind the wheel. It would however mean that people would need to use their phones to take the pictures leading many more crashes, OK I haven't really thought this one through if I'm honest, but do vote for me anyway!

How about mobile phone jammers fitted to all new cars so they only work when the engine is off.

You pass it as Law, I'll hold the Patents and we'll split the difference. wink

Anybody with a fluffy toy in their car.
Anybody with a slogan sticker on board 'a dog is for Christmas (lunch)', etc.
People who don't get dents fixed in their cars, have some pride dammit!
Halfords add-ons to a piece parc (dyslexia).
People who can't park in the white lines of car park spaces, I mean how hard is it?!?!
Toyota Prius drivers, all of them.
Caravan towers, hardly 'news', but get a life all the same! Sell it and go to Amsterdam for a weekend and tell me which you enjoy more.
Towing hooks when you walk between 2 parked cars and hit your shin on them, if you've done it, you'll know what I mean!
Short people driving too close to the steering wheel, I very nearly crashed laughing so hard at some tiny lady on the M40 recently. I will never know how she rotated the wheel as she was quite well apportioned.

My cousin drives a super-charged car with a blower, as far as I am aware there is no double super-charged car out there. If there isn't however may I just add PATENT PENDING!!!

That should do it

People who get upset at me when I say "I know how to change a tyre" smile









Not only can I change a tyre I can change tyres on split rims, and split rims with metal bands.......anyone who has inflated a tyre on those after fitting knows what scary buggers they can be smile

I'd imagine a lot of tyre fitters know how to change tyres too smile

I'm noticing a trend for cars with drl's to have them switched to yellow

Esp Range Rover and bmw.

Anyway I think it's great that the transgender community have a secret way of saying hi to each other.

I saw a Dacia Logan with a bolted on 'air scoop' today in north London. I turned around and applauded at the sheer knobbishness. Properly taken to the highest degree..

I see people driving and yakking all the time. There are no cops around here so they just do it. I have wagged my finger sometimes and the response is usually a what the F smile/grin.

This pisses me off about my Shogun.

I can set the sat-nav, key in phone numbers on the touch screen, browse through folders upon folders of music stored on the internal hard drive.

But the passenger can't connect their phone to it via bluetooth when I'm driving. Stupid.
This maybe just me but I hate it when I'm driving and a passenger starts a phone conversation. It's as rude as doing the same thing over dinner or fiddling about with their phone during a conversation.

"Does your phone have a camera?"

"Well duh".

"Superb. Put it away or I'll send photo's to Proctology Monthly".

on my commute into manchester, everyone uses their phone whilst driving, or at least when stopped at lights or queuing. I see maybe 500 people on that journey, twice a day. I just don't see how it can be enforced. Maybe we should take the "legalise drugs" stance and just say, oh well, we've lost that one, may as well make it all legal. I don't agree with that argument btw, phones or drugs!

One Sunday I gave a friend a lift, and within 2 minutes he was on his phone talking to someone. This turned out to last almost the whole journey (30 minute drive). I turned the radio down to start with as he said it'd be a quick one, so I had to drive home listening to one side of a conversation about a house.

Worst bit was, at the end of the conversation he signed off with "well I'm nearly home now so I'll see you in a minute..."

True, but my mate and I were in the car, my MusicUnlimited/Spotify thing was gubbed, wanted to connect his phone to listen to some music, and you can't do that without stopping.
I was on about new cars. Nearly all have vocal command features and automatically connect via blutooth.

The 3 utter knobs on the Macc to Leek Road on motorbikes yesterday. They spent the entire run performing some of the riskiest overtakes I've seen, including a lorry on a blind bend. We caught up with the 3 again just outside Leek where they had pulled up for a cigarette at the side of the road. So they spent half an hour recklessly overtaking everything in front of them and risking their lives, and others, only to stop, have a fag and let it all pass them again.

Ranting here as friends and family are attending, but wedding presents. We've lived together for 4 years. We have a house together, as everyone does these days, and we don't need any further possessions, not even updated ones. The wedding isn't leaving us broke, but literally all we'd want is money. It might seem like a rubbish present to you, but I don't give a fk. Your attendance at my wedding is costing me fkloads. We don't want assorted vouchers from all the high street shops. I want vouchers that are accepted everywhere, just like we said (far more politely and diplomatically than this) in the invites, and just like reiterated when you insisted that you wanted to buy as an object instead. Just give us cash ffs!! Vouchers aren't even any more thoughtful than money anyway!!

People that park purely using the sensors and don't bother using their mirrors, looking out of the windows or using their common sense.

I only post this as my neighbour has once again knocked the rear bumper of my car when attempting to reverse park at speed and relying just on using the sensors. It's not the first time this has happened and even his other half has managed it once or twice over the past year with her car banghead

His response when challenged, again, about knocking into my car ..... "what's your fking problem, that's what bumpers are designed for" rolleyesbanghead

I hope you asked for their insurance? Have they paid for the last couple of times for it to be repaired?

I just received a wedding invite with one of those sideways 'we just want money' bits on the invitation today.

Nah.
